"Second sister, second sister, look, there are a lot of mushrooms here!" Just as Su Miao was intoxicated by the pure natural blue sky, green mountains, clear water, and plum forest in front of her, Su Yan suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing to the white mushrooms growing under the rows of tree roots on the shore, "Let's take them all back and dry them and eat them slowly!" ”

Su Miao walked to the mushroom bush and squatted down, looked at it carefully and shook her head:

"This is Amanita alba, poisonous, and eating a hundred langzhong can't save you."

Su Yan was slightly stunned, retracted his hand in shock, and asked fearfully, "This is a poisonous mushroom?" How could the second sister know? ”

"Our family used to open a restaurant, and the first thing to learn as a chef is what you can eat and what you can't eat." She's a professional.

When Su Dong was alive, because his son was young and weak, and the eldest daughter was disobedient, he had the idea of letting his second daughter Su Miao take over, otherwise he would not let Su Miao and his eldest apprentice Zhou Cheng marry, but unfortunately Su Miao was dirty and afraid of hardship, and was not interested in things in the kitchen, but because she had learned from her father, Su Yan didn't doubt it when she heard her say this, and took her hand and hurriedly said:

"It's full of poisonous mushrooms here, second sister, let's go quickly!"

"The fact that mushrooms can grow here means that the environment is suitable, so look for and see if there are non-poisonous varieties nearby." Su Miao said with a smile.

The two walked upstream along the clear river, and sure enough, they found a large area of small umbrella-like mushrooms near a shoal, Su Yan repeatedly confirmed that there was no poison, cheered, took out the cloth bag from his arms, and happily went to pick mushrooms.

Su Miao took a few steps forward and climbed the low slope to squat down to dig wild vegetables, and just dug a bag, but heard a frightened scream from the low slope:

"Second sister! Second sister! Snake! Water snake! ”

Su Miao was startled, and then walked down the hill, and Su Yan, who was full of horror, had already rushed over and climbed on her with her hands and feet, and the little girl seemed to be frightened.

Su Miao's face twitched fiercely, making sure that there was no snake chasing him behind him, so he pulled him off from him, and said earnestly: "Little four, you are also a man, don't be more timid than your sister, okay?" ”

Su Yan was a little embarrassed when he calmed down, lowered his head, bit his red lips with his teeth, held it for a long time, and said weakly: "But, the water snake is terrible!" ”

Su Miao was speechless, walked to the water's edge and looked at it, and asked suspiciously, "Where is there a water snake?" ”

"It was there just now!" Su Yan walked over and pointed it out to her, but there was nothing on the calm water, Su Miao's eyes widened in confusion, and at this moment, Su Yan suddenly pointed to another place and screamed in horror, "There!" Snake! Water snake! As he spoke, he hid behind Su Miao, pulling the corner of her clothes and quietly poking out half of her head.

Su Miao was speechless, looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a snake-like slippery thing swimming in the river water, and if he looked closely, it turned out to be an eel. Perhaps because the locals don't eat eels, or because people don't come here often, the eel was not scared away by Su Yan's noise, and still roamed in the water.

There were eels in this river, Su Miao's eyes lit up, and she immediately untied a net pocket from her waist, took off her shoes and socks and skirt and was about to go down to the river, Su Yan was so panicked that she hurriedly pulled her sleeve:

"Second sister, why are you going?"

"That's an eel, if you catch it, the second sister will make you yellow eel rice to eat at night."

"Eels? Isn't that a snake? ”

"The eel is a fish that looks like a snake, you can see it when you catch it in a while, I will go down to catch it first, and I won't have to run away!" Su Miao said as she broke free of his hand and jumped into the river with Su Yan's eyes full of worry.

The river is not deep, it has not flooded the thighs, and the soles of her feet are soft and slippery silt, Su Miaocai stood firm and saw the eel swimming towards her, she was overjoyed, and quietly opened the net pocket in her hand, which she found in the kitchen, probably Su Dong's old things, and she didn't expect it to come in handy.

The process of fishing is quite smooth, because the eels in this river have no natural enemies, and they become stupid when they are used to being free, and before Su Miao can use his brain, he actually crashes into the net pocket stupidly, and then flutters and struggles, and is thrown on the river bank by Su Miaoyang's high arm and crackles on the grass, and the splash on Su Yan's face scares him and screams, and he is afraid that the fish will run away and dare not come forward to catch it, jumping around and doing it in a hurry.

Su Miao knew that there were eels in this river and went to dig out the mud cave stone cracks, the eel liked to hide in these two places the most, but unfortunately she was unlucky, and she caught two more after digging all afternoon, and the others all ran away, and jumped out of the river wet, and the three eels on the shore had already died, Su Yan stepped forward with a delicate handkerchief embroidered, frowned and said:

"Second sister, your clothes are soaked."

"It doesn't matter, the sun is good today, I'll do it when I go home." Su Miao wiped her hands and face, picked up her skirt and re-tied her pants to cover the wet, put on her shoes and socks, looked at the sky and said, "It's time for us to go back, it's time to scold when we go back late." ”

Su Yan nodded approvingly, the sister and brother cleaned up again, and the eel was put into the net pocket, Su Yan refused to touch it, preferring to carry the pocket containing the mushrooms and wild vegetables.

The sisters and brothers went down the mountain and returned to Changle Town, and when they walked to the door, they were scolded by the Hu family:

"Where did you two go crazy again, go out without a sound, your sister is not worrying, your sister is not worrying, even the two of you make the old lady unhappy, I knew that one by one is so uneasy that it is better to strangle you all to death when you are born! How did you become a sister, not to mention letting your brother read books in the house, and also running out to mess around, you want to be angry with the old lady, right! ”

"Yan'er was bored in the house and worried, so I took him out for a walk, many people were digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms in the woods in the north, so we went to join in the fun, Yan'er brought books, and he could warm his books better than when he was outside in the sun at home." Su Miao was not annoyed when she was scolded, and said seriously.

Su Yan looked at the second sister with admiration and didn't need to make a draft if she lied, and when she saw her mother looking over, she hurriedly took out the "Analects" in her arms and nodded frequently, Mrs. Su walked out of the house with staring eyes, and said sharply:

"Hanging your throat outside, what do you make the neighbors think, I don't think there are enough people to lose these days, I have a shrew like you at home, I'm really bad for eight lifetimes, God bless me and I can't get up in one breath and die!"

"You've always thought about it, if you can really do that, it's still my creation!" Hu sneered.

"You ......" Mrs. Su was so angry that her lips trembled again.

"Grandma, mother, Uncle He is still there." Su Chan frowned and reminded in a low voice, feeling very embarrassed.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, looked at a man in his forties who was wearing a muslin robe and a bookish air that came out of the house, and called out in surprise:

"Uncle He!"

"Miao'er." The man sneered and bowed his head, looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were tense, and touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.
